ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at two different methods for placing dental implants right after a tooth is removed, specifically in the front part of the mouth where appearance is important. The study compares two techniques: one is called traditional drilling, which is the standard way of preparing the bone for an implant, and the other is called osseodensification, which uses a special method to compress the bone around the implant for better stability. The goal is to see which method provides a more secure implant placement.

To participate in this trial, patients should be between 20 and 60 years old and need to have a single tooth in the front of their mouth that cannot be saved. It's important that their jawbone is in good condition after the tooth extraction and that they don’t have any major health issues that could affect healing. Patients who are pregnant, smoke heavily, or have certain dental problems may not be eligible. Those who join the study can expect to have their implant placed using one of the two techniques and will be followed up to assess how well the implants are doing over time.
